Yes. If they are copy protected. Nero will prevent you from copying them. If they are not (and you have permission) you will be able to copy them. The best way to find out if they are copy protected is to attempt to copy them.

Hello D., these are writable discs only. You cannot write over the data once it is burned onto the disc. So they are great for things like copying vhs to dvd

Actually I can copy something to a disk, but I haven't tried to watch movies on this drive. The only thing is sometimes it just can be recognized by my laptop. And I have to try several times to make it to be recognized.

I don't think it will work. DVDs have formated files written to them not raw video like this delivers. Sorry

Have you tried it on copyrighted movies? I have a bunch of older exercise tapes that I would like to put on DVDs. Thanks,

It will NOT record commercial DVDs to the hard drive. But it will record any DVD that's not copy-protected, including shows you may record off the air.

With this drive you can write to CD, DVD, and Blu-Ray. *NOTE* You will have to have the software to use to Playback Blu-Ray, or to Burn as Blu-Ray. If you do not already have playback software for Blu-Ray, you will have to purchase it, and the same goes for Blu-Ray writing. There is more information about this available on the web. Good luck!

If its a movie, a tv show or any other content that you bought from a retail store that you are trying to copy, 99% of these discs are encryption protected(for copyright reasons), so if is the case you need software able to decrypt the digital content on the discs. My best advise is that you learn how to copy DVDs first and learn the different discs sizes, in some cases how to shrink video, etc,ect, cause you're probably gonna waste few discs on the learning process. So to answer you question what you are trying to do its possible. To Burn DVD's i use Lite-On and ASus Drivers and to burn Blu rays I use ASUS drives.

My first answer of NO seems to have been published without my additional comment of : 'Not that I'm aware of. It is a simple copier: whatever is on the master CD/DVD is directly copied to the blank.'

No it does not have the feature, or function to copy existing DVDs. You can read, write or erase, but not copy.

Depending on your software, you can create an "ISO" file on your PC, from the original DVD in your LG BD drive. Then, after replacing the original DVD with a blank DVD of the same capacity, you can make a copy of the original DVD, onto the blank DVD, from the ISO file. The program ImgBurn, does this very well; not only for DVDs, but for Blu-Ray discs and CDs. Copy-protected disc may not be able to be copied. Hope this helps.

I don't think you would want to do that. I think the quality from TV to a Disc would be very good. If you want to copy or (BURN) from a Disc to a Disc would be the way I would want to go. I'm no expert but I (BURN) from Disc to Disc.

Yes. I record to the hd and them move to other devices but u believe there's an option to go direct to DVD. Regardless each movie is an individual file which you can delete. Also recommend maybe you burn two DVDs before you delete if you go through the time to record it.

The modern drives write to just about all types of DVD. Note that a DVD can be already written and closed out. If the DVD is written as write once and you close it, you can not write to it again. And of course the DVD has to be a writable one purchased for that purpose.

The original self made DvD or Cd is copied; I have not tried copying purchased discs

No because of copyright laws and industry restrictions - this will not happen on a device that writes to portable recording media (DVD, Blu-ray, etc). The idea being - as I understand it - to restrict/reduce/eliminate anything but streaming media to consumers. Your satellite, cable, etc PVR/DVR's that have hard drives only - encrypt that data at rest on the hard drive. Your DVR/PVR HDMI output signal checks to see if the receiving device is DMCP - digital media copyright protection compliant - and these devices will not be compliant as the industry and law are currently. I would recommend AVS forums for any indepth discussion of this subject. This is very high level - and I'm not an expert.
